Bravo! remains open after small chimney fire

Bravo! in Jackson Township had a small chimney fire today. The restaurant remains open.

A build-up of creosote was responsible for a small chimney fire late this afternoon at Bravo! restaurant in the Belden Village area, firefighters say.

Battalion Fire Chief Tim Swonger said the fire, which was mostly extinguished by employees, began in a wood-fired oven used for pizzas and Stromboli around 3:45 p.m.

He said Stark County health officials ordered the restaurant to shut down the oven for the night so that the oven and chimney could be cleaned. However, the restaurant itself was allowed to stay open for business.
